    Israel could always stop chucking bombs at civilians, then they wouldn’t need aid.

      If you don’t want Israel lobbing bombs at you, then maybe you should stop lobbing bombs at Israel first.

        Are you under the impression that the Palestinians invaded Israeli lands in 1948, killing thousands of them? Or that it’s Palestinians who put Israelis in an open-air prison and deny them essential supplies? Or that it’s Palestinians who regularly form mobs to run Israelis out of their homes before bulldozing them to build new settlements?

        Because if so, your comment would make sense.

            Yes, that is the invasion by Israel to which I am referring. Or are you conflating “Palestinians” and “Arabs”, and trying to make some gotcha about other Arab states trying to intervene in what Israel was doing to the Palestinians? The Palestinians in Palestine weren’t invading anyone, they were defending their land.

              I’m not conflating anything. Just posting well-sourced and unbiased, objective historical record. Kind of odd how riled up that made you… (Remember, you’re entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts.)

              Frankly I’m not really interested in your interpretation of that history, especially since you don’t seem to have a very good or nuanced grasp of it in the first place. There are plenty of smart, informed and qualified people who have written on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. No offense but I’ll probably check out what they have to say before I check in with you.

              Anyway, have a good one!

                Nothing in those links you provided said that Palestinians invaded Israel, so I’m not sure what relevance they have to the statement of mine that you quoted, unless, as I said, you are conflating the other Arab states which did invade Israel in an attempt to help Palestinians.

                But go off, fam.

                Also, what part of my comment struck you as ‘riled up’?

        What an asinine comment that displays a complete lack of understanding of the history of the situation.
